Went to Backbone State Park for the first time in about 20 years

Took my bike out there to go for a ride.

Not very many people there. Wouldn't do the trails marked for bike use again if I go back.

Of course I went on a weekday afternoon so it might have been different on weekends. 47of74 May 2020 #2

Which is a good thing. I saw another video of a state park where it was elbow to elbow people.

I try to avoid going up into Dubuque for rides on weekends for now. It's not as busy on weekdays around Dubuque even in the late afternoon/early evening. Weekends I ride out in the country or around a smaller town. Heritage Trail isn't too busy out west even on weekends - but that's not unusual.
